Investopedia explains 'Sell Plus'

For example, shares of Big Air investments have a last traded price of $10. A sell plus order in this case would be any sell order with a price that is greater than $10. We place a sell plus order for $15. The only way our order will fill is if the market price of the stock rises to $15.
